I got my copy of the book in my monthly shipment from M&M last week, and it has May 2025 for the publication date. So with 2 listing on the database for this issue, the one that is not labelled as FCBD has the correct date on it. It also states inside that there is a variant cover by Jim Rugg from New Dimension Comics. Only the Joe Quesada cover is listed as a variant on the database.

I found other covers, 1 not very good as far as outside borders, couldn't find a better one. These are the New Dimension Variants, and one from C2E2.

The last couple missing variants I tried adding to the database did not upload the scan of the book, is this just me?

July 9th still not uploading the pictures, I also tried a different browser Google, and it did not work either. Also looks like links are disappearing when I add them.

There is also listed on the database issue #30.5 Cover B as the free promo copy which is actually Cover A. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/radiant-black/30.5B/pivsiqu

The issue #30.5 Cover C shown is not a variant for that issue, but the Story So Far issue, needs to be changed to a zero issue or something like that.

Heat Seeker Combustion 1 Brao Unique FOC Blind Bag

I submitted a cover scan for both the bagged and the unbagged Heat Seeker Combustion #1 FOC Unique Blind Bag Cover J found at https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/heat-seeker-combustion-a-gun-honey-series/1N/piwwhrx
So this variant has the nude wraparound cover F art inner cover, with a unique manipulated outer cover from the same art in various forms of undress, or dress, with different color schemes, a lot trade dress, the one I got was black and white sketch virgin.
So not sure what to do about this one, as every cover as I found on the Titan website is a one of a kind. https://titan-comics.com/news/heat-seeker-combustion-1-very-special-foc-cover-an/
Are they all going to be the same value? Or will the virgin covers be a much rarer event?
I posted the picture of the one I got.

And this is not the only one, Planet Death also has two listings for the same books.

Another problem also brought up in this thread is blind bag issues. I can see a cover variation for the comic still in the bag, but the problem comes with the book out of the bag. If there is only one cover, then the unbagged variant is fine as a variant, but when there is many, then an unbagged variant in the database should be given away to the actual book in the bag, such as the Team-up book shown above as well as others. The Unique blind bag for Heat Seeker Combustion #1 is insane as every bag contains a different variation. And there is a blind bag with multiple covers coming up for the new Batman #1 for the next series.

I totally agree as stated in the part 1 post that the blind bag should be valued as priced, and separately priced as to what is inside.

If the title is the same for the blind bag comic, it should be listed as a variant, denoted as BB for blind bag, plus a variant letter. For instance with the upcoming Batman #1 blind bag which will contain foil versions of the regular covers, foil version would be BB-A for the A cover, etc.

I've been having trouble also the last month or so with when adding the variant cover, the scan is not showing, at least to me. But it might be showing to the administrators as some I posted have been uploaded and my scan is there. I've tried it with different browsers and that wasn't a fix.

No Price on Comic reporting

pittlw

There are a lot of exclusive comics printed that do not have a cover price on the books. When reporting this, we are left with putting the retail price for the book even though that is not on the cover, or as I've done is report 0.00, even though the book was not free. We need an option for NO PRICE, such as NP for a code in the price box.

If we are supposed to report the retail price, then can that be put in the submission rules? Problem with that is prices sometimes change if they drop the price if not selling or on sale. Another thing with retail exclusives is they sell them for like $19.95, but on the back cover they still carry the main cover price such as $3.95.

Here are a few examples, https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/harley-quinn/45-616CT-B/piyqnup and https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/do-you-pooh/1L/piyrjqr and https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/stan-lees-alliances-orphans/1Chard_cover/piwqmxr

These are books that don't have a cover price on them, some have 0.00 which is not the price of course.

NEW POST: ISSUES NOT ON CPG

pittlw

The next step would be providing a way to post missing issues and variants that don't have a title avenue.

If a link could be made to post new issues or variants via the publisher page, that could save a lot for admins. I have at least a dozen issues that I have requested on this forum Missing Issues that have not been given a listing spot on the database. I have a stack about 6 inches high of more that I haven't submitted because I don't know if they will get taken care of. I know, small publishings are looked at last.

Yes, a way to post missing issues that don't have a database slot. Because the instructions now is to post it on the missing issues forum.


To make it more close to home, have that request on the publisher page, same as what we do now on the variants, but we would have to put the title in there as well.

Was not aware there is a submit missing issues button for series. I found it and was able to submit issues #21, 22, & 23 for the volume 2 series of Critter, with an issue 24 & 25 issue in hand very soon.

So can we get something like that for the Publishers page, so we can submit missing series titles and one-shots? We would need a title box on the submission form in addition to what is already on the missing issues for series.

Tarot Witch of the Black Rose 144 A&B cover price

The cover price for Tarot Witch of the Black Rose #144 Cover A & B has the wrong cover price, it should be $4.99. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/tarot-witch-of-the-black-rose/144/piwwbrp

I also noticed issue #143 is missing, it goes from 142 and the next button shows issue 144.

Also I have issue #145 in hand. I put in a missing issue request for it. It only allows you to do one cover, so I have to wait for the spot to be made so I can add other missing covers. For your viewing pleasure I have attached the B Cover below.
